Is The Merc Going to Lose his Mouth?

With Disney acquiring Fox (and thus bringing together all the Marvel properties under one umbrella, finally, although presumably Sony will keep the animated Spidey rights, as there are already two Into The Spider-Verse sequels or spinoffs planned), some people were apparently worried that this meant that future Deadpool movies would be PG-13.

Disney is saying emphatically: No.

Once Upon A Deadpool did not do as well as they were hoping, which they seem to be taking as a sign that Deadpool's fans want him to stay adult-oriented. The talk now is of a separate Marvel brand for adult movies as opposed to the all ages MCU. I would imagine we may see the planned X-23 movie, which I'm anticipating will be super violent, under this banner. Also, the first Deadpool movie had a cameo of Penance. Although it would be more expensive and thus might be prohibitive for the smaller audience, a Morlocks movie would be hugely awesome and would also work better under an R rating.
